Price drop. Make offer.

Bigger HD1 fan, EGR deleted, butterfly valves deleted, 3L more reliable version head (replaced by previous owner in BC), Radiator flush. About the only simple thing I haven't done is the high flow thermostat. What I haven't done is a bigger diameter exhaust, intercooler, or any other big ticket...

The pictures are all on a link in the post. Lots of them.

Wife says it's time to get something with air bags, proximity sensors, etc. So Lurch the 1990 RHD LJ78 is going to be sold. Even though it's just about the most inexpensive vehicle, in cents per mile or KM, that I've ever owned. 1990 LJ78 with 231,000KM. Runs great. Lots of upgrades but not of...

Having a big problem finding replacement injector lines. Anyone parting out a prado with lines left?

I didn't install them myself, thank heaven. It took a lot of reefing with bigger wrenches and drift hammers than I have in my tool kit. Many of the nuts were pretty much welded in from rust. Since one must remove the springs to get to the shocks, you might consider the whole spring/shock kit...

One of the lines stress cracked, and started spit diesel at a pretty good rate.

Thanks! Order is in with a warm fuzzy feeling that I did the right thing.

The megazip diagram shows two part numbers for the same item in the illustration. For instance, the number 1 line is either 23701-54120 or 23701-54130. Does it matter which I order? I want to replace all 4 lines, since one has cracked, the rest might also. Megazip can ship some here. Any other...

Now that I also flushed the radiator and found out I was over a gallon low, my water gauge never rises above 1/2, even when climbing towards home at 60mph up the 2400' grades we have every direction from here. 95% of the time, it sits at 1/4 to 1/3.

I am very happy with the Trucklite LEDs. Expensive, but worth it. The only drawback is the amp draw is so low that your high beam indicator will not turn on when using the high beam. I believe they are widely available, with a wide range in price. Complex Reflector, 5"x7" LED Rectangular, 2...

Looks like you were on your way to Winco or Trader Joes. Downtown anyway. I wonder if they were just passing through?
